Florida Letter.
PALATKA, FLA, June 5,

PALATKA, FLA, June 5. 1887.
FRIEND HARRIS Being Sunday
and nothing else to do but write, and
think of the yellow fever, will de-
scribe to you a part of this beautiful
town of Palatka. 1t is situated on the
west bank of the st. Johns river, rs
miles above Jacksonville by water and
50 miles by rail. 1t is somewhat of a
Winter resort and we have some good
hotels, one of 300 rooms. The river is
over mile wide here, and so it is a
beautiful place to boat and fish at all
times of the year. We have popula-
ton of about 1000 most of the time,
from all parts of the world, but mostly
from Africa; we have a $4,000 Jail
and good place for school house !;
we have also nearly a dozen buildings
with steeples on, but have only ex-
amined them from the outside. They
are called churches, and am told the
people go inside to commune with the
air and other invisible things. For my
part prefer flesh and blood-and, by
the way, the mosquitoes feel just as 1
do about it, and they are now after my
blood. We have several places where
they keep materialized spirits-at Is
cents. We all know how it effects us
to commune with materialized spirits,
first we have pleasant sensation,
just as if someone had loaned us a
dollar, and from that the pile increases
and our head swells accordingly, but
when the money vanishes and our
head begins to shrink how we wish
we had never seen that dollar. But
that is not what ails me, it is the pesky
flea and thousand mosquitoes, and 1
must get out doors or be drilled full of
holes and all my blood gone.
Yours very truly, MosCo.

Receptions by People in Mourning.

How peculiar some people are. l
guess it must be a heritage. For in
stance, | CHANGED TO be in a street-car
the other day and overheard two ladies
conyersing.
One of them said: NOW, wasn't
that delightful reception at Mr..
Blanks the other afternoon. Yet the
paper scarcely mentioned it. Why,
everybody was there"
YES, but you know Mrs. Blank is
in mourning; and, OF course. it wouldn't
do to have it in the papers. 1t wouldn't
be right, you know"
mo. OF course not; wonder | didn' t
think OF that"
And thus they chatted couldn't
help but hear. TO my intense surprise
| learned that 1t was quite the thing for
ladies' IN mourning to give receptions.
but under the rose. Much | marveled
thereat l am opposed to mourning.
We were not put here to mourn. If
our ideas of Christianity are right, We
haven any thing to mourn for on the
death OF relative or friend, for they
are better off. 1t is proper and RIGHT
to show the grief We feel on occasion.
but to mourn for year or so. and 20
round in this gay world looking like a
funeral procession, is not right. There
fore, 1t struck me as peculiarly funny
that in upper circles it is not considered
wrong TO brighten up the mourning
period with little enjoyment, but that
u was wrong to let any body know it.
Yes, this is a queer world and lots of
peculiar people there are in lt.-Maae-

The Secretary Bird Extinct.

1t is surprising to find it authoritative
~ stated at the meeting of a game pro-
tectivc association at Cape Town that
the secretary bird is now extinct in
Cape Colony. This curious bird has so
long been popularity supposed to enjoy
unlimited protection on account of It's
snake-killing propensties that il will
come quite rs Il shock. even to our uat-
uralists and ornithologists, to hear that
the Cape Colony, its ancient and most
favorite habitation, knows it no more.
In old days, undoubtedly, this bird was
a high fayorte among the Boers; it was
by them often tanned, and might be seen
stalking .solemnly about among the
kraals and buildings. As game became
scarcer however, it was discovered that
the secretary bird did vast amount OF
damage. not only to snakes but to the
smaller of the fauna and avi fauna For
this reason, as well As for its rarity and
quaintness, the poor secretary has been
shot off or driven beyond the bounds of
the colony, thus following the example
of the nobler game. 1t is well that the
Cape farmers are stirring themselves
about the protection of the remnant of
game left to them. Fifty years ago the
limit of the colony contained in album.
